GREAT NEWSLETTER ARTICLE FROM MY BUDDIES AT BIOTRUST.COM (P.S. I LIKE MY YOGURT STRAIGHT FROM THE ORGANIC FARM & ANOTHER NOTE THATS IMPORTANT IS MAKING SURE YOUR YOGURT IS LOADED WITH LIVE ACTIVE CULTURES SO IF IT HAS BEEN PASTURIZED & NOT FROM RAW MILK, AT LEAST THE PROBIOTICS WERE ADDED AFTER PASTURIZATION & NOT BEFORE WHERE ALL THE HEALTHY INGREDIENTS GET COOKED RIGHT OUT OF IT...VERY IMPORTANT!!) Did you know that almost ALL yogurts are flat out bad news for your waistline? Light yogurts, for instance, are absolutely terrible for you, and for more reasons that one. First, most light yogurts are loaded with artificial sweeteners and/or high fructose corn syrup. High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is one of the top 3 WORST ingredients you could ever consume. First, as its name suggests, its made of primarily fructose, a sugar that easily spills over to fat storage when consumed in sizable quantities. And artificial sweeteners are...well...artificial. Do you really want to put chemically altered, man-made ingredients that dont exist in nature into your body? Us either. Second, HFCS is made from genetically modified corn. Third, HFCS spikes blood sugar and insulin like almost no other food or ingredient. Bad news all around. Bottom line, just because something is low calorie (i.e. Light) doesnt make it a healthy choice, or even a choice that will positively affect your fat loss goals. What about fat free yogurts? Well, hopefully we all know and understand by now that fat isnt bad. Fat is a critical nutrient to both your health and your fat loss efforts and actually helps to naturally stabilize many important hormones in your body that play a key role in optimizing your bodys fat-burning environment. Secondly, most fat-free yogurts are LOADED with sugar. Heres a plan: Lets get rid of the naturally occurring healthy fats and load up on sugar instead! Sounds like a plan to us...a really bad one. So does that mean you should be avoiding all yogurts? No, in fact theres ONE type of yogurt that we highly recommend you use as part of your fat-burning diet...and thats Organic Plain Greek Yogurt. First, Greek yogurt has double the protein of regular yogurt, so you get more protein punch in every spoonful. Second, by choosing the plain variety you avoid all the extra, unnecessary, artificial ingredients along with calorie-boosting excess sugar. Lastly, by going organic youll avoid the hormones and antibiotics that are otherwise generally injected in the typical cow. Greek Yogurt is our #1 pick for mid-meal snack and we enjoy a serving of Greek yogurt just about every day. We recommend you do the same.
